Thank you Aeronaut for posting your dad's ship.

We can never repay the debt we owe.

That's the truth. Thanks for 'falling in' Colonel.

[snippy_about_it]

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you for serving. :-)

[soldierette]

Well, I heard that there was a place somewhere here at Free Republic for the troops and I guess I found it. What a nice tribute this is, thank you for doing it.

[Colonel_Flagg]

You're welcome, dear lady. We had a very good Veterans Day ceremony here today and it's a good chance to renew our sense of perspective.

Did you have a good day?

[Professional Engineer]

Snippy and SAMWolf and the rest of the crew are here every day.

Well, as long as we don't inconvenience too many electrons, we're here.

But there was one exception: a squad of Gis, a sight that brought the biggest smiles you ever saw to people’s lips, and joy to their hearts.’” - Stephen H. Ambrose, The Victors, 1998.


Bears repeating.

The American GI, no greater friend..no worse enemy.

The pic you chose for the USMC is a redesign I did around 1980.

That is considered the USMC historical emblem, on every Marines button. Fortitudine is the USMC historical quarterly pub.

It is not the Marine emblem, but thanks for the bump.

It all seem appropriate!

SemperFi to all of our veterans!

Semper Fi and happy birthday!

While I wish to honor all veterans for their service... I am so angry at the Springfield News-Leader. My husband went on his morning trip to purchase the News Leader this morning and NOT one word about Veteran's Day was mentioned on the front page!!!
The email address for this paper is Letters@News-Leader.com
Please let your voices be heard out of respect to our nation's veterans.

I got that graphic from Here

Nice work by the way. :-)

[snippy_about_it]

This is it. Please see our mission statement at the start of each thread. We have a button on the front page called the FReeper Foxhole or we can put you on a ping list if you like.

Thanks for "falling in" to the Foxhole.

Did you have a good day?

I did. I spent the day with one of my favorite Veterans. ;-)

Today was a day for learning new computers and software so it was a break from all the physical work we've been doing. That ends tonight though. Tomorrow we lay tile and lay out the design for the river rock entrance. We're still having fun though.

Or strain too many body parts. :-)
